The FDA on Friday authorized two Covid-19 vaccines for emergency use in babies, toddlers and preschool-age children, setting the stage for the country’s youngest kids to begin receiving shots as soon as next week.
The agency’s action came two days after its independent advisory panel on vaccines unanimously voted to recommend EUAs for Moderna’s and Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccines, which can be administered to children as young as six months. The 21-member panel — comprised of pediatricians, infectious disease experts and vaccine researchers — found that the benefits of vaccinating children under 5 against Covid with either vaccine outweigh potential risks.
